Run amok? Or gave us a better uniform. He also pushed through the new PT test. And did away with mandatory safety briefs. Match that with his resume, and I have nothing but good things to say about him. This is a good choice.

It was a sarcastic comment, as I said: his resume is about as complete as it gets. But seriously, every SMA gets a stick up their posterior about changing uniforms, what we need is to be consistent with our image and be responsible for our history.

Define better? As I said it was a sarcastic comment and I edited to add the emoji in there. The new PT test? I'm not a believer in it. I'm a regular APFT+CFT guy...kinda like the Marine Corps.

I think the uniform is good. I like adhering to our WW2 lineage. I would prefer us doing away with the ASU and going to the pinks, and then staying with them for decades to come.

I do agree there is way too much going on in the new PT test- too much equipment and set up. Rope climbs and pull ups and a kit run would have been better additions- no extra equipment other than what you have in your locker.

With all that said I believe he has made good changes to the Army, in conjunction with SMA Dailey. My main issue was with the “running amok” comment, sir.
